The Boulder JCC is thrilled to announce the 2019 Reflections Gala Honorees, Miche and Noah Bacher and Cathy Summer and Steve Ellis. Each year, the Boulder JCC selects honorees to be recognized at Reflections for their commitment to the values of the JCC and dedication to creating positive change at the JCC and throughout Boulder County. These four individuals have made a tremendous impact on the Boulder JCC and the Jewish community as a whole through their many hours of service and commitment to the community.

Miche and Noah Bacher

“When we relocated to Boulder from New York, the first thing we went in search of was a community. Being in between life stages, we found it difficult to make new friends and form community but the Boulder JCC opened its arms and gave us a home. It is our privilege to give to the J what it has given to us.”

-Miche and Noah Bacher

Steve Ellis and Cathy Summer

“When moved here 20 years ago this week, our first stop was the Boulder JCC. For two decades, it has been the center of our community. We’ve been regulars at preschool, board meetings, Hebrew High, JFS, and every kind of event you can imagine. We’re honored to be honorees at Reflections 2019.”

-Steve Ellis and Cathy Summer

Reflections is the Boulder JCC’s annual gala fundraiser to raise money to support the JCC’s programs and scholarship fund. Reflections 2019 is co-chaired by Mark and Mary Strynar and will be held on February 23, 2019.

For the first time in its twelve year history, Reflections will be hosted at the Boulder JCC in an exciting new format. During an extended cocktail hour that includes dinner, guests will schmooze while sampling a variety of delicious tasting menus from stations throughout the incredible building.

Jonathan Lev shared, “We are thrilled to celebrate these honorees in our own building. Together, Miche & Noah and Cathy & Steve represent the history of the JCC, connections between various organizations, and the value of volunteerism in creating and building community.”
